A couple weeks ago, at Durham Academy, an astronaut by their name of Colonel Virts came to share his story. He talked about his early childhood to the time that he was in space, and it was very interesting. During his visit, I learned that the astronaut’s life really isn’t that much different than mine, even in space. He talked about his time in the air force and what he did while he was in space and it was probably one of the most interesting speeches that I have heard. He has written a book about space called “An Astronauts Guide to Leaving the Planet”.
